The car is based on an all-new EV platform that features a highly rigid body, high-performance motor, compact lithium-ion battery with high power output and energy capacity. According to Nissan, the new 2011 Nissan LEAF delivers outstanding driving performance and safety, while offering a quiet and peaceful driving experience.
The new Nissan LEAF looks slick, with a face that's characterized by a short nose and large headlights. The car is compact. The sleek styling results in a low coefficient of drag, making Nissan LEAF one of the most aerodynamic cars in the marketplace.
The 2011 Nissan LEAF electric motor was developed in-house and delivers 80kW of power and 206 lb.-ft. of torque that result in excellent acceleration, especially from a standstill. The 24kWh laminated compact lithium-ion battery pack is located under the vehicle floor for packaging, without compromising cabin or cargo space. Regenerative brakes recharge the battery during deceleration and braking, which helps contribute to the 2011 Nissan LEAF driving range of more than 100 miles on a full charge.
What's also noteworthy about the Nissan is its EV-IT system, which connects the vehicle's on-board transmitting unit to a global data center. Among the features of the system is a maximum range display that shows the driving radius within range under the current state of charge on the navigation-system map. The system can calculate if the vehicle is within range of a pre-set destination.

The EV-IT also points out charging stations within driving range. A timer function enables the air conditioner or battery charging to begin at a specified time. The air conditioner can be pre-set while the vehicle is plugged-in to cool the cabin to a desirable temperature before driving begins, without taxing the vehicle's battery. Meanwhile, the battery charging can be set to start at a specified time at night to possibly benefit from more favorable electricity rates.
Also, the driver can monitor the Nissan LEAF's state of charge via an online website and a cellular phone. When the battery is fully charged, a message alert is sent to the cellular phone.

Scandinavian Design

"Provisional design that does not ignore, if it comes from," sums up the appearance of new Saab 9-5. "We provide fresh, very modern, some classic signs of brand design," says Simon Padian, Saab Design Chief of the brand. "There are themes found in our recent concept cars such as the Aero X, which is inspired by Scandinavian design and aeronautical origins of the brand."

In front of the new Saab 9-5 is defined by a grid lined with deep curved block of ice fog. The emissions presented in the whole "immersive" mono graphic: masked the windscreen and a half columns to the signing of the Saab car cockpit displays. This interaction between the windshield and the roof size resemble the classic Saab 900 models.

From the front, a new Saab 9-5 to cut the strong and powerful stance. "Organic Sculpture" and the low-slung body combines a clean, uncluttered lines of the natural, curved shapes. Brand design cues appear on the 'hockey stick' belt-line strong rear C-pillars and soft surface of the body frame. Very Saab logo embossed in the center of the grid is characterized by a more assertive, confident design language.

Dynamic character of the car is underlined by a falling roof line, culminating in the sweeping rear pillars that support a screen slightly recessed in the rear. The front wings, which are subtly flared to fall into the wheels transmit the latent energy. Below this bridge gently to the rear, a full-width blocks of ice bar taillights wrap for her signature lighting.

The new 9-5 overall proportions stretch the traditional three-volume sedan silhouette, while avoiding the cliché of a four-door fastback coupe appearance.

Driver-focused cockpit

Inside the spacious cabin, to define simple forms of architecture and design echoes the purity of the outside. Compared to its predecessor, legs and shoulder width is increased front and rear, with rear legroom leader. The choice of materials, fit and finish and tactile quality control all reflect the premium nature of new Saab 9-5.
The driver-oriented cockpit is traditional Saab, but its implementation is revolutionary. The deep center console sweeps a small angle around the driver in the main display device, which is crowned by a neat ventilation zone. Deeply recessed main rings are speed "altimeter" bearing a reading, a reference to Saab's aviation heritage Aero X concept Display driver, including the option HUD (HUD) in the windshield, is reported in the signature green and Saab have a crisp, seemingly floating. ignition of the car, which is now a start / stop button, remains between the front seats, next to the gear lever.

Infotainment choices include a high-end Harman Kardon 5.1-channel surround sound system and an 8-inch color touch screen navigation system with hard drive storage of map data and 10GB for music files MP3. A large center console offers storage and connections to multiple portable devices via USB and 3.5 mm auxiliary ports on the side of a 12V power outlet.
